Making it feel like a friend teaching him/her, I remember of my high school days when my mates used to come to me to ask for a problem and I would solve it to them in such a way they would never forget, there were laughs included, stories included and of course the main knowledge. I like to research about what topics I’m tutoring and whatever it…

To really understand where the student is coming from. Far too often throughout my own life I have been frustrated with the way in which teachers and tutors treat you as just another student and bulldoze you with an answer before you've even managed to get you question out.
To be able to adapt their teaching style to better suit the student.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is build a student’s confidence. Most of the time, a student isn’t actually “bad at math” they’ve just had a few negative experiences that made them feel stuck. I try to create a safe and supportive space where mistakes are okay, because that’s how frustration slowly turns into…
I can foster and encourage a growth mindset by teaching critical thinking skills, and problem-solving strategies as opposed to simply memorizing information. Each student has unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. By recognizing and catering to their individual needs, I can tailor my instruction to maximize their understanding and…
The best thing my methods tutor did for me in year 12 was by far to cut out the crap and stretched analogies. To learn things simply for what they are. By understanding principles in a simple and raw way, the originally complex problems were solved at a glance, leaving only the problem of writing down the working I had already seen in my mind. …

A tutor can help forming the most fundamental and strong knowledge base of the student, by guiding him/her rightly. That knowledge base is a foundation of major learning concepts in future. A tutor doesn't only literate the student, but plays a major role in educating one. I can explain a concept to the student in the simplest terms. My friendly…
Every student has a different learning style; I can say this from experience as i was always until recently been labelled as not terribly gifted logically. This was until i found a tutor that was patient enough to guide me in my pursuit of knowledge, from a perspective that i understood. I believe that this is the most important action a tutor…
Trying to understand the level of math understanding of the student and to work on the math concepts right from the level the students are not clear. For tutoring profession one very important skill is to deliver the knowledge, tutors may be intelligent and superskilled but they become great teachers only when then can get down to the level of…
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Lauren seems to be going well and most importantly is engaging with Steph and feeling better about Maths in general. We are very happy with Steph so far. She is a lovely girl who is always punctual and the communication between us is excellent. And I think Lauren looks forward to her sessions with Steph, which can only be a positive!
She has been SUPER professional. I would recommend her without hesitation. She is responsible, has made a connection with my son, has communicated with me and kept me informed all the time. She is a great asset. We look forward to working with her in the future.
